Elektra

Directed by Hisham Bizri

With Diamand Abou Abboud, Flavia Bechara, Lisa Debs, Manal Issa and Reina Jabbour

Set in the desolate wreckage of Beirut’s Piccadilly Theater after decades of war, the film recounts three days in the life of a writer and actors. As they seek to revive the ghostly theater with a production of Sophocles’ Elektra, the actors witness the vivid dreams of the writer who has to confront the contempt and lies of the two-faced actors and ultimately her own murder.
